Well, it's certainly better than "peer therapy" from randoms on teh interwebz.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. You walk into a therapist's office, and they are going to see you as an "income stream," whether they know it consciously or not.
On some level, they're going to want to find as many problems as possible, (especially some that most people learn to deal with through experience on their own) just to keep you coming back.
I wouldn't recommend going to therapy unless one was seriously considering harming oneself or harming others.
So long as you're not planning on doing any damage, the BEST therapy is to grab your balls and make a move over and over, and get plenty of experience to draw from, so you can behave more like you want to.
That being said, a COACH is a different animal altogether. If you've got the cash, having a "getting laid coach" to check in with once a week and formulate a game plan, and discus the previous week's activities can certainly be helpful.
If you walked into a therapist's office and said you wanted to get laid, they'd likely start digging for deeper issues, whether they were there or not.
